Trivia quiz

A trivia quiz is a game or mind sport in which questions are asked, and players must attempt to correctly answer them. Alternatively, a quiz can be a brief assessment to measure a person's knowledge or aptitude. Three official Metroid quizzes have been released to date, themed around Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid: Samus Returns.

A general Metroid trivia quiz with ten questions, asking the player to identify a subject out of four images or text options. This can be done by clicking on the image or word/name. It features the Metroid Prime logo, but uses artwork of Samus from Hunters and asks questions outside the scope of the first Metroid Prime. It was actually released to promote Metroid Prime Pinball. Once the quiz is complete, the player will receive a congratulatory message regardless of how they scored, with the option to try the quiz again or go to the Pinball website. The quiz has been unofficially archived and can be played here.

"Take the Metroid challenge and see how well you know your Metroid trivia"

This quiz involves matching all seven Bounty Hunter silhouettes to their names, Alt-Forms and Affinity Weapons. Correctly matching each Hunter unlocks a tip for dealing with them in combat. When a hunter is correctly matched, the Event Jingle plays. If a hunter is incorrectly matched, the word "Incorrect!" will appear on screen with an option to try again. Successfully completing the quiz brings up an option to play it again, or to visit the Hunters website, www.metroidhunters.com to download wallpapers and IM icons based on each Bounty Hunter. The website now redirects to an empty domain name.

InstructionsHow well do you know the bounty hunters in Metroid Prime Hunters?

"This interactive tool will help you find out. Use the arrows to move all four reels and match up each hunter's name, image, Alt Form, and weapon of choice. When you think you have it right, click "submit". If you're correct, you'll unlock a game tip for that hunter. Can you unlock all seven tips?"

Samus Aran

"Samus is a great choice and balanced hunter for all modes and most arenas. Her Morph Ball form gives her extra ground speed and her Bombs are effective, whether she's chasing another hunter or being chased."

"The Vhoscythe is fast and dangerous, but the fact that it is difficult to control makes it a better choice for open arenas than ledges. In tunnels, Noxus's Judicator is extremely effective since it can bounce off walls."

"Kanden is a good choice for arenas that have a lot of ledges. When Kanden crawls along a high platform in Stinglarva form, enemies will have a hard time hitting him, blasting the lip of the platform instead."

This quiz is offered through Play Nintendo, and asks five questions about the player to determine which of the Aeion abilities in Metroid: Samus Returns best suits their personality. The result is displayed with a short gameplay video demonstrating the ability.

Time to power up!

"Samus Aran has some powerful moves up her sleeve, thanks to a special energy called “Aeion.” You can answer these questions to learn which Aeion Ability best fits the way you’d want to play the Metroid: Samus Returns game."

When it comes to hunting aliens, you’re on a need-to-know basis. As in, you need to know what’s around you! That’s why Scan Pulse is the Aeion Ability that best matches the way you’d want to play the Metroid: Samus Returns game. You can use Scan Pulse to scan the surrounding area, then reveal information on the touch screen map. You’ll even be able to see which nearby blocks are breakable.

Self-defense is at the top of your To-Do list, especially when it comes to fighting aliens. That’s why Lightning Armor is the Aeion Ability that best matches the way you’d want to play the Metroid: Samus Returns game. You can use Lightning Armor to surround Samus with an electrical barrier, preventing physical damage. It can even be used to power up a Melee Counter attack to a Lightning Counter with longer range.

Attack is the best form of defense, especially when you’re trying to hunt down deadly aliens. That’s why Beam Burst is the Aeion Ability that best matches the way you’d want to play the Metroid: Samus Returns game. You can use Beam Burst to increase your beam weapon’s attack power. You can even hold down the Y Button for a continuous flurry of rapid-fire shots.

You’re fast on your feet, and you know the best way to get ahead of an enemy is to slow it down. That’s why Phase Drift is the Aeion Ability that best matches the way you’d want to play the Metroid: Samus Returns game. You can use Phase Drift to slow time for everything except Samus, giving her a chance to run over collapsing floors and attack fast-moving enemies.
